San Giovanni Battista, Baroque minor basilica in Vittoria, Italy.

San Giovanni Battista is a Baroque minor basilica on Piazza Ferdinando Ricca in central Vittoria. Its plain facade rises in three horizontal registers, framed by pilasters with Ionic and Corinthian capitals and topped by two small domes. Inside, a Latin-cross plan has three naves on Corinthian columns, a barrel vault with lunette windows, and a round apse.

This church was constructed between 1695 and 1706 in response to the devastating 1693 earthquake that destroyed the previous structure. Its construction reflects the community's effort to rebuild after a major disaster.

The church holds the tomb of Vittoria Colonna, Countess of Modica and founder of the city. After the 1693 earthquake, the names of all saints venerated here were placed in an urn; three times the draw gave San Giovanni Battista, who became the city's patron. The 1801 polychrome marble floor and the 19th-century wooden pulpit by Carmelo D'Asta are visible inside.

The basilica stands on Piazza Ferdinando Ricca in Vittoria's historic centre, a short walk from the rest of the old town. The main entrance faces the square, and the interior is entered from there. Look up in the central nave for the 1748 Del Piano organ on the left choir gallery, and in the crossing for the dome completed in 1854.

The interior houses a remarkable pipe organ handcrafted by Donato Del Piano in 1748, located in the central nave. This instrument remains one of the finest examples of mid-18th century organ building in the region.
